This episode includes the deepest dive on hormone optimization and HRT that we've ever had on Renegade Radio. So, it will be of extreme interest to all men over 35, and especially those over 40.

Find out everything you can and should be doing to get your testosterone and other hormones to optimal levels. And why NOT doing that could lead to all kinds of health problems.

We also go into great detail on everything you should be doing to maximize your sleep so that you can always perform at the highest level.

After retiring from active duty as a U.S. Navy SEAL, Dr. Kirk Parsley began treating his fellow servicemen. In time he noticed a direct correlation between his patients’ sub-optimal hormone levels and poor sleep habits. He helped them experience phenomenal results by addressing both issues.

He became Naval Special Warfare’s expert on Sleep Medicine and a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. He invented Sleep Remedy, a dietary supplement designed to help people overcome the most common nutritional deficiencies that can interfere with deep, restorative sleep. Dr. Parsley is also certified in hormone modulation, consults for multiple corporations and professional athletes and teams, and lectures all over the world on sleep, wellness, and hormone optimization.

This episode will not only teach you the importance of optimizing your hormones and sleep, but it also gives you actionable tips to help you do both.
